Need drawing/picture of oil pick up/screen installed on 383. And how do i remove it? Never worked on engine parts before. I found out the the old oil pan on my 'cuda is a larger and deeper pan then originally should be. I think it's a 440+6/hemi pan, but not sure. My 'cuda has a windge tray. So the reason the oil pan is rubbing the steering linkage might be the fault of wrong oil pan.

Ok. Can I use the old pickup screen by cutting it's length and re-thread it? Or wouldn't it fit the stock 383 pan? What length should it be? As getting a new pickup screen isn't easy here in Norway. And I really need the 'cuda out of the garage it's in now.

yes you can cut & reweld the pick up tube to reach deeper into the pan

I was thinking of shorten it. As I have a hemi/440+6 pickup and need th shorten it to make it fit the correct oil pan for the 383 that I'm going to install.
